Some random key ideas.
1.
We often talk as if our universe is a self-contained whole, but beyond the limits of observation, we simply do not know what else may exist.
2.
Quote:
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr..
- 1858.
Meaning:
Animal brains learn by impressions. You are born into a family, into a culture at a particular time. Your spacetime literally forges who you start out as.
3.
From History: ~600 Million years ago (+/- 20 million)
About 600 million years ago, chytrids live in moist and watery environments. They are living fossils in the sense they reproduce with sperm-like cells that can swim to a new area.
4.
We do not know the ultimate fate of the universe, but the leading ideas are that it expands forever, collapses and starts over, or ends in something more extreme.
5.
Quote:
- Carl Sagan.
- circa 1980.
Meaning:
We are not separate from the universe—we are expressions of it, linked by matter, chemistry, and atoms.
6.
From History: ~20 Million Years Ago (+/- 10 million)
Black mold is part of the normal fungal world: usually a moisture-driven irritant and allergy problem, sometimes a more serious respiratory issue for sensitive or vulnerable people.
7.
Sound does not change pitch when it moves to a new medium. Frequency remains constant. Speed and wavelength adjust, revealing a deeper consistency.
8.
Quote:
- Heraclitus.
- 500 BCE.
Meaning:
Change is the only form of permanence that exists—first glimpsed by ancient thinkers, and now woven into the fabric of modern science.
9.
From History: 66.04 million years ago to the present.
The Cenozoic era starts with the K–Pg extinction 66 million years ago. That event marks the sudden end of the reign of dinosaurs and the rise of mammals and birds.
10.
Estimates of ancient human populations of a few hundred are misleading. They lean too heavily on surviving DNA lines. DNA traces direct surviving lines, not the full populations and branches that once existed.
Done. Refresh for another set.
